when necessary, or it can be adjusted back and forth according to thedesired exposure of the Wheel 7, to accommodate large or 'ustment beingindicated To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. KoHL- MYER, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Guards forPolishing or Grinding Wheels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hoods for polishing or grinding wheels, andhas for its object to provide an improved hood which can be moved out ofposition when desired.

A further novel feature is a grating in the hood to catch small articlesthat may drop while being polished.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which-Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a section, on theline 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation opposite to Fig. 1.

small work, such ad in dotted lines in Fig. 3. A latch 8 engaging overthe front edge of the tube 9, serves to hold the hood in itsusual'posit-ion.

The mouth of the tube 9 is provided with a small wire grating 11 whichrests thereon and which serves to catch small articles which may bedropped into the hood or beside the wheel while being polished. Thisgrating is held in position by the hood which fits around the same.

What I claim is:

1. In a guard for a polishing wheel or the like, the combination with asuction pipe having opposite guides at the month thereof, of a hoodprovided with flanges at opposite sides slidable in said guides, wherebythe hood may be removed, and a latch carried by the hood and engageablewith the pipe,'to hold the hood in position thereon.

2. The combination of a suction pipe, a hood thereon, and a gratingresting on the mouth of the suction pipe, the hood fitting around theedge of the grating, to hold the same in position.

In testimony whereof, I do aflixmy signa ture in presence of twowitnesses.

The guides 14-are open at the rear end, so that thehood can be slid in or out to remove and replace same Copies of thispatent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing theCommissioner of Patents,
